The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin

In 1939, Grace Bennett and her best friend, Viv, move from their village in Norfolk to London to live with Grace's mother's best friend, Mrs. Weatherford. Viv has a fake letter of reference, which helps her secure at job at Harrod's, while Grace is able to get a job at Primrose Hill Books, thanks to Mrs. Weatherford. Life during the war is filled with worry and danger, as the Germans bomb London daily. Grace, though, finds both courage and meaning working at the bookstore. The Last Bookshop in London explores everyday life during wartime through the eyes of Grace and those around her.
